Director Kunal Kohli is on cloud nine these after receiving the warm response given to the trailer of his first film as an actor, Phir Se. But not everyone know that Kunal was tangled in a major controversy over the story of the film. The co-writer of last year's Yash Raj movie, Daawat-E-Ishq, Jyoti Kapoor had accused Kunal of stealing the story of Phir Se which she said was originally hers. Jyoti stated that she had met the film-maker beforeand narrated the story to him and Kunal swiped it from her to make it his own. When the matter was taken to the FWA (Film Writer's Association), Jyoti had come out as the winner. The judgement was in her favour. Kunal did not take this well and had accused Jyoti of falsely blaming him. He also went on record and said that the writer was only doing this because she wanted money. And it looks like Kunal is still holding a grudge. When the trailer of Phir Se came out, there was absolutely no mention of a writer in the credits. Kunal, who has co-directed the movie, decided to not give Jyoti her due. The matter is currently in the tribunal and final verdict is awaited.
